> that people retired their hardware in way less than 5 years.
those people are end-consumers (like gamers), and only recently, bitcoin miners.
Gamers don't care for "profit and loss" - they want performance. Bitcoin miners do need to switch if they want to keep up.
But will an AI data center do the same?
Mining bitcoin with a GPU hasn't been profitable in over a decade.
The rate of change is equal for all groups. The gaming market can be the most conservative since it’s just luxury.
